Growth Through M&A Increases PIM Complexities
Growth Through M&A Increases PIM Complexities
Mergers and acquisitions fail between 40-80% of the time, a leading cause being the inability to integrate systems. Having product information stored in different locations leads to PIM complexities that can negatively impact operations both upstream and downstream. This problem exists in organic organizations but dramatically increases when formerly separate entities are suddenly expected to function as an integrated organization.
Riversand helped Schneider Electric defy the odds with effective post merger data integration and management.
“We chose Riversand and Comma after a detailed analysis of numerous solutions. They impressed with their understanding of this complex area and use of new technologies to address challenges that the digital age presents for the flexible and ubiquitous provision of product information. We look forward to working with them in the implementation of our new PIM solution”
Director of Digital
"Riversand PIM enabled us to bulk change products and add or remove information from product profiles easily. The rules that we are able to customise for PIM block changes from happening on the site without review."
eCommerce Operations Supervisor
"Riversand’s solution enables us to easily access product marketing and technical information to provide rich product content. Also, images are stored and tagged by country along with supporting text in 23 languages so we can offer a truly localized experience."
